Fundraising Rules of Thumb

  • 18-24 Months: The ideal runway post-fundraising to allow you to hit your next milestones.
  • 6 Months: The absolute deadline to start raising your next round (Fundraising takes 3-6 months).
  • Net Burn focus: Pre-revenue founders must track gross burn, while post-revenue startups must optimize net burn to reach default alive status.
